SPN people pay attention to dressing new every three days. But for Lishuping, it changes with each passing day, with a small change every six months and a huge change every two years.

From just over 200 households at the beginning, to nearly 400 households now, five streets of different sizes have been formed in two years. [Search for the latest updates here]

Low adobe houses and thatched huts were demolished and replaced by small brick houses built with bricks fired from earth kilns, with a row of two-story green tiles on top. Shops were built on the ground floor facing the street, and shops were built on the ground floor facing the street.

Although the buildings are densely populated with people, they help poor people escape from the crumbling thatched huts and mud houses of the past.

In order to meet the growing demand for construction of factories, mines and schools, Shusheng Company invested in the construction of cement factories, brick kilns, and tile kiln factories. In particular, the two brick and tile factories that seemed to have particularly low technical content were used to open mountains with explosives and small machinery.

Seemingly simple and practical technologies such as auxiliary excavation, mechanical mixing, one-time billet forming, and converter production have greatly improved production efficiency.

With cheap labor costs and crazy money-making army working in three shifts, the brick and tile factory is doing very well. It not only supplies Shusheng Company's industrial bricks and tiles, but also sells them to village collectives and individuals at appropriate prices.

, carry out preliminary renovation of adobe and thatched huts.[

The villagers who had money began to prepare to build their own houses. Although Zhang Shusheng did not want to let the villagers reveal their wealth too early, under the leadership of a very small number of villagers, they rebuilt the crumbling houses.

It's unstoppable.

Let nature take its course, Zhang Shusheng not only supported it, but also arranged for someone to take charge.

Teachers from the junior technical school led the students to personally conduct surveying, mapping and design. Several small streets finally became large-scale in mid-1918. In half a year, just after the end of the year, the construction of several simple streets was completed.

As the headquarters of Shusheng Company, Lishuping is also a pilot village for the transformation of worker-peasant population. The villagers are generally relatively wealthy. Most workers who have money are unwilling to continue living in thatched huts and tile-roofed houses. Poor and labor-deficient families are also

There was a collective subsidy from the village, and the remaining part was borrowed from Shusheng Company by mortgaging some of the shops facing the street. Shusheng Company finally rented it out to villagers for operation, and the whole village moved into the new street smoothly.

"What a big deal, bah, we can live together and it won't be too crowded."

Jia Laosan has been a wealthy family in Lishuping for a long time. He stopped renting land from landlord Wang Laocai a few years ago and instead has several acres of his own land. Jia Laosan sells candied haws in Huize County and his family is relatively well off.

. Not only was he the first person to build a tiled house in Lishuping, he also sent his precious son to the county seat and reluctantly paid money to stay with a relative to study nearby.

Looking at the location of my home, there are only two or three lonely tile-roofed houses. Compared with the streets in the distance, they are dilapidated and a lot shorter. Those two or three households have not moved into the new street like me.

house people.

When Shusheng Company was recruiting people, Jia Laosan was very disdainful and sneered at it. He was selling candied haws in the city alone, and from time to time he thought to himself about the ignorant people. What kind of Western-style building did he want to build in the old mountain nest?

Sooner or later, the factory will have to lose even its crotch.

Therefore, when almost every family in Lishuping had someone working in the factory, and every family relied on Shusheng Company for survival, Jia Laosan and a few two or three others adopted an attitude of neither cooperation nor approval. If you don’t enter the factory, you won’t leave.

Workers and Shusheng Company occupy a few public farmlands in the village, and they do not contribute. They are even more contemptuous of the men from the same village who set up stalls and do business in Lishuping and make a living by driving carts.

In his opinion, he is a visionary person who does business in a large county. Most of these idiots have only been as far as Xiaoqingshan Town Office, and they are only qualified to sell some onions and garlic in the countryside.

But the development of things made him feel dizzy.

First, factories that I had never heard of, let alone what they were doing, were built. The construction of hydropower stations even cut off the river at the entrance of the village that had nurtured dozens of generations of people. The construction of mines made it difficult to walk on the mountain.

It seems that the stone you are knocking on has become valuable. Then comes the school, then the hospital, then the renovation of the house...

Jia Laosan couldn't let go of his family's land. He was always afraid that it would be blackmailed by people from the village or the scammers from Shusheng Company. First, he asked the old lady to keep a close eye on him at home, and then he noticed something was wrong, so he came back once every half month.

From now on, I might as well stop selling candied haws on a stick and go home to keep watch.

However, he found that the original situation of big pot rice in the village was gone, and the previous scene of good and bad things happening together was gone. If his family refused to enter the factory, other families were willing to enter, and even villages ten miles away rushed to enter the factory. His family

If there is no one on the hilltop of his field, he will get out of the way, and even when the road is built in front of a small field of his own, he will simply go around in a circle...

Everything was beyond comprehension for this veteran who had been living in the city for more than ten years. The world has changed. In two years, everyone in the village was poorer than him. Why has it changed now?

?Every lunch and dinner, the smell of meat cooking in the village can make him irritable and restless.

During the street renovation, Jia Laosan changed his face and won over several families. He proposed that he wanted a large house with a good location and a front door. He could even pay more, and he could not live on the same floor as others. Otherwise, he would not move.

As a result, Jia Laosan's family and the three families he encouraged stayed where they were. They still lived in the old house without paying a penny or receiving a penny. And the so-called collective public income in the village,

It’s also because their family didn’t contribute anything, not even a penny.

Today, relatives in the city were coming back to play with their children. Jia Laosan walked through the streets thoughtfully, spitting a few times, and then went to the entrance of the village to pick up the children.

"Dad, where has our village gone..."[

Young Master Jia, who came back from the county town, couldn't understand the completely changed Lishuping when he saw it. The relatives next to him were even more stunned. How could the houses in Lishuping be built as well as those in the county town?

Jia Laosan spat hard, pulled his son over, and said to his relatives with a red face: "I used my pants to repair a shabby house, and a liar came to build a foreign factory. Sooner or later, everyone in this village will be

You have to be fooled. What's the benefit of entering a factory? I can't make more money than selling candied haws in the city. Look at this densely packed shabby house, it's not too crowded. Go back and pack your things, I will go back today

Go to the city and continue selling candied haws. From now on, I will no longer be your little village bastard in Lishuping. I will become a city dweller. Bah, you are a country bumpkin who has never seen the world!"

In the afternoon, many villagers in Lishuping saw Jia Laosan carrying his luggage, women and children, and the newly arrived relative, rushing back to Huize County to start his big business that afternoon.

Before leaving, he went to the gray-haired village chief and left a harsh message: Whoever dares to touch my fields and ancestral house, I will come back and fight with him.

He left in a grand manner, accompanied by his relatives in the city, and amidst the sighs of the villagers, he went to the city to do big business.

Niu Zhishan stood in front of the wooden door, looking at Jia Laosan, who was dragging his family along the way, turning around and spitting and swearing. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh. The two grew up together, but he didn't expect that when they reached their prime, the one back then would herd cattle together.

Jia Laosan, who went to the fields together, disappeared again.

"Jia Laosan is still gone. All his life, he has been too stubborn and has taken wild paths." He felt that the wind was blowing, and he was afraid that the strong wind would affect the mother and two children at home who were breastfeeding, so he closed the door.

, took out the cigarette pot and prepared to smoke some.

"Oh, the two little ones bit me together." Niu Zhishan's wife endured the pain and carefully placed the two children in the wooden cradle. Looking at the two children with very different looks, she said with a smile: "I really hope

The two children can grow up healthy. Especially Xiaobao, it is so pitiful."

Niu Zhishan: "Yes, when my father and I were working as masons in the villages, He An's father saved us. His shooting skills were so amazing that he brought down two big wild boars by himself. At that time, He An's father saved us.

He is only about ten years old, and he carries a shotgun on his back. He is really a good man."

"It's all caused by bandits from Tiansha!" Niu Zhishan's wife also sighed. If the bandits hadn't been so miserable, maybe people from Wangchang Village could have entered the factory and earned wages. She and her husband, one of whom was a garment factory worker,

One is a worker in a brick factory. The money he earns in a month not only allows him to eat and clothe himself, but also has a small surplus. Now he has pooled his share and borrowed some money to move into a new house and is living a comfortable life.

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

There was a knock on the door. It was time to eat and rest before the evening shift. Niu Zhishan thought that He An must be here, so he went down and opened the door, and sure enough he brought He An up.

"Damn it, it's Anzi who's here."

"Sister-in-law." After arriving at Niu Zhishan's house, He An's face regained some warmth, but he still spoke little. He stood in the corridor shared by several families and did not go in, but stared at the child in the cradle.

"Brother He, come in quickly. Niu Zhishan, you too, don't invite your brothers to come in and sit down. We have just moved into the new house." Sister-in-law Niu quickly stood up and greeted her. Although the house is small, she also wants to let He An in.

"No, I'm just here to see Xiaobao. He's dirty, so I won't go in."

He An was covered in mud. He had obviously just finished training and had not even had time to take a shower before asking for leave to see the child. He carefully picked up He Xiaobao, while the Niu family's sister-in-law bought new clothes for the child.

"Xiaobao, you must be obedient at your Uncle Niu's house. Dad won't be able to visit you for a long time. Eat less milk and don't compete with your brother Dabao."

After looking at the child reluctantly for a long time, He An handed the child to Mrs. Niu, reached into his arms, took out a small embroidered purse, put some money in it, and handed it to Niu Zhishan, "Brother, in the past few months, we have

I will train in a closed manner, and I will entrust you to take care of Xiaobao. This small amount of money will be used as money for Xiaobao’s milk."

He An's salary was two yuan a month, and he had several yuan in his wallet. When he came out of the military camp, company commander Chen Jun forced him to give him two yuan, knowing that his biggest concern was his child, and the child was taken care of.

Only with this backbone can he function better.

"Anzi, our two families have a life-long friendship. You and I are brothers. We will accept the money, but we have agreed that it will only be given to the children." Niu Zhishan advised earnestly: "Also, you still have to give it to me."

You are young, why don't you find another girl to live with? There are many people in your sister-in-law's factory, and the yellow-flowered girls are more beautiful than the others..."

"Thank you, brother, I don't have this idea for the time being." He An shook his head, raised his wrist and looked at the ordinary watch issued to the main combatants by the militia, and said resolutely: "The time is up, I have to go back. Xiaobao will

Please leave it to my eldest brother and sister-in-law."[

"Pa!" He An didn't say anything. He was already used to living as a soldier. He saluted and went downstairs directly. It seemed that this was the only way to express his gratitude to Niu Zhishan's family.

"My dear, please keep all your money in a separate place. You can't lose even a penny of this money. Xiaobao will also use it for studying in the future. If he doesn't live up to expectations, if he saves it for ten or twenty years, it will be enough for him to marry a housewife."

. We don’t have a lot of mouths like his, so I’ll worry about it for you.”

"Dang Dang Dang..." A sound of gongs sounded.

Niu Zhishan also heard the sound of gongs in the village and knew that the evening training time for the escort team had come again. After the training, they had to go to the brick kiln factory for a few hours to work. It was considered busy from morning to night, but the days were more complicated than before.

Enrichment.

"You don't have to work the night shift and take care of the children. I'm leaving."

After exiting the door, many villagers came down and began to spontaneously rush towards the open space where the guard team was training. The bloody lessons of Wangchang Village were before their eyes, and it was still such a troubled world. Everyone was afraid of the possibility from the depths of their souls.

The brutal massacre that would come. The people who were aroused by their bloody nature chose to listen to the voice of the militia and the words of the instructors. They took up arms and trained themselves, ready to fight against anyone with evil intentions at any time.
